Dutch naturist promoting #bodyfreedom In any society that claims to value inclusivity and freedom, it should be self-evident that naturists have the freedom to choose not to wear clothing in public. Its time to #normalizenaturism and #legalizepublicnudity

insecurity, no self control and a brain that has never developed further than that of a teenager.

Nudity should be normal! Our bodies are beautifully diverse, yet far more alike than media standards suggest. Imagine how much happier and healthier we’d be if we let go of body shame, embraced our natural selves, and celebrated the beauty of every body. #NudityIsNatural

If you come across a #naturist out for a walk, there is no need to be alarmed; we are not exhibitionists and we have no ill intentions. We are simply taking a walk to enjoy nature, just like you—only without clothes. So, just say hello, and let’s respect each other’s ways of life. #normalizenaturism

I just had to take advantage of the nice weather and go on a naked hike. The humidity was high but the temperature was pleasant. 20 degrees in October is truly unheard of. Really wish more people discovered the freedom of a naturist hike. #naturism #normalizenaturism #bodyfreedom

Awesome! In the Netherlands public nudity is legal on designated and suitable locations. If you follow the case law, cycling naked should legally be permitted, provided you do so on a somewhat more secluded and quiet cycle path through nature so that is what i do and i absolutely love it!

The freedom to be yourself, judging people based on how they behave and not on what they look like, connecting with nature on a deeper level and connecting with others.

Since public nudity is not illegal in the UK you can always go on your own naked bike ride on a quiet country road :)

You still completely and utterly miss the point, and perhaps you should ask yourself whether seeing racism where none exists—and your aggressive way of reacting—isn't simply a reflection of your own mindset.

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I simply chose a random alternative lifestyle involving distinctive traditional clothing for comparison, asking why that attire is accepted, despite deviating from the norm while the "naturist attire" which also deviates from the norm remains taboo. If you see racism in that, thats entirely on you.

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Because I am asking why naturism as a way of life cannot be respected in the same way as all other ways of life—on a profile dedicated to normalizing naturism and promoting bodyfreedom?

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Ah yes, of course its in the land of the free. Where chosing the be free is illegal.

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Thank you for your reply. Your answer is the exact point i was trying to make: Why should respect be a one way street? We get dressed out of respect for others and we have to respect the way others dress because of their way of life. Why cant others accept and respect our way of life then too?
030
Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
In both cases you get confronted with a certain way of life, one gets frowned upon, the other gets accepted and that was my point. Why shouldn't we expect respect for our way of life when we do have to repect other peoples way of life?

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I personally dont see it as exhibitionism as my intention is not to 'be seen' and there is no underlying kink, its simply how i'm dressed at that moment. The underlying question was: Why should we as naturists always have to adapt, and why shouldn't we be able to expect respect for our way of life?

Mark W. @nudenetherlands.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
That of course depends entirely on the country and its laws.

Naturism is a means to an end; a stage we have to go through on the journey to making nudity in society fully accepted. Once this happens, there will be no more need for designated naturist spaces, and body freedom will have been achieved. #nakedliving #bodyfreedom

Graag gedaan, hoop vooral dat hij zijn weg gaat vinden naar politie, boa's en handhavers. Zodra zij beter op de hoogte zijn van de wetgeving en weten dat naakt recreëren gewoon is toegestaan op alle (geschikte) openbare locaties kunnen we hopelijk ook eens onbezorgd gebruik maken van die vrijheid.

During the summer months i'm pretty much always naked at home, only getting dressed when i have to go somewhere. Household chores like vacuuming are never fun but at least they are way more comfortable to do naked in the summertime heat. #naturism #bodyfreedom #normalizenaturism

As long as its legal i don't really care where i'm naked as long as most other people around me don't seem to mind it. In spain and Denmark i've been naked at non-nude beaches without any problems.

She could also not go to the nude beach or move to a muslim country, far away from normal rational people who value freedom and respect the fact that different people have different ways of life. I hate people who want to force their ideas and beliefs onto others with a passion

I've walked a bit farther and I'm now sitting in my favorite spot with my feet in the water. There's nothing sexual about it. I'm simply relaxing and enjoying being naked. What reason could you possibly have to be offended by that? Exactly... NONE! #nudeisnormal #nonsexualnudity #clothesfreeliving

Yesterday evening it was very warm so i decided to go for a #naturist hike. I had planned to cycle naked for most of the ride there as well. Unfortunately, it was too crowded for that for most of the route, but I was still able to cycle naked for the last stretch! #Bodyfreedom #normalizenaturism

In short: In the Netherlands nude recreation is allowed in designated areas AND all public places that are suitable like quiet nature areas as long as its quiet and you don't disturb public order. The infographic also has QR code to a more detailed explanation on their website

The Dutch Naturist association has recently published this infographic about the legislation regarding public nude recreation. It briefly explains what is and isnt allowed so you might want to keep this on your phone in case your run into uninformed police officers or other people

"A topless woman is vulgar/disgusting/offensive..." Pardon me? Stating that a person's body is any of the above, shows a lot about who you are. It may make you uncomfortable, because it's rare, but other people's bodies don't have to conform to your comfort level.

Hey, clothed people, If we feel like hanging out topless, or even nude, what exactly is the issue, what precisely is your objection? (Surely it isn't that offensive, is there really even any issue at all?) #nudeisnatural #nakedliving #bodyfreedom

There's a lot of talk of "normalising naturism" on here and in naturist circles, but the simplest, most direct and most effective way of doing that is by living life openly naked and, well... normally! 😉 #nakedliving #bodyfreedom 📷 @desertrosemay.bsky.social

A couple of years ago we went to Denmark on a holiday and the relaxed attitude towards nudity was refreshing, especially on beaches. You can indeed often be one of the few people naked or even the only one naked but nudity doesnt have to be the norm to be accepted and respected.

We're at a beach where we're the only naked ones. We're taking naked living into the outside world, and we think respect and tolerance is the key—with everyone as dressed or undressed as they please—because naked bodies don't deserve to be hidden from sight. #nakedliving #bodyfreedom

100% These kinds of photos have nothing to do with naturism. If you wouldnt do it clothed, you shouldnt do it naked either.That goes for pretty much everything in naturism. Naturism is simply doing normal everyday things, just without clothes. Anything else is exhibitionism or has a sexual undertone

Keep up the good job! The only way to #normalizenaturism is to be brave, lead by example and just do it! Being a #naturist is not something we should be ashamed of and in any truly free country it should be self evident that naturists have the freedom to be themselves everywhere #bodyfreedom

Definitely this, kids won´t think much of it but the parents are usually the issue and if i have the option of avoiding conflict i always choose that option. I don´t mind running into other people every now and then but i always try to avoid people with kids
